Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Headband and Bow
Start with a wide curved band that arches from left to right like a headband.
Add a small circle in the center, then draw two matching leaf-shaped loops for the bow.
Pro Tip: Keep both sides of the arc the same height so the headband feels balanced.
Step 2: Draw the Hair Shape and Bang Part
Under the headband, draw a large hair outline that drops down on both sides.
Add two curved bang lines that split in the center and sweep outward.
Pro Tip: Keep both bang curves similar in length so the girl face stays centered.
Step 3: Draw the Face Outline
Under the bangs, draw one big curved line from the left cheek down around the chin to the right cheek.
Keep the sides a bit straighter before curving, so the chin looks softly rounded.
Pro Tip: Place the chin slightly above the bottom edge of the hair so the girl face doesn’t look too long.
Step 4: Add the Ears
On both sides of the face, draw a small half-oval ear near the hair edge.
Add one short curved line inside each ear to show the inner detail.
Pro Tip: Align the top of each ear near the ends of the bangs for a natural look.
Step 5: Draw Big Eyes with Lashes and Highlights
Draw one large round eye on each side of the face, with a slightly thicker outer curve.
Add curved pupil lines and two small highlight dots inside, then draw a few short lashes on the outer edge.
Pro Tip: Leave about one eye’s width between the eyes for a balanced look.
Step 6: Draw a Tiny Nose and Smile
Between the eyes and slightly lower, draw a small curved stroke for the nose.
Below it, add a gentle “U”-shaped smile to give the girl face a sweet expression.
Pro Tip: Keep the nose and mouth small and close to the centerline of the face.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
